Enabling The Radio Interface; Configuring The Wds - GO Networks WLP Technical Manual

Enabling the Radio Interface

By default, the WLP radio is disabled. You can, however, choose to enable
it using the following CLI command syntax:
configure interface Dot11Radio 0 [disable | enable ]
Note: You can't enable the wireless interface until at least one BSSID
is attached to it.

Configuring the WDS

WDS protocol is used to support wireless backhauling and meshing of WLP
and CPE units. WDS is supported over both the 2.4 GHz access radio and
the 5 GHz backhaul radio.
In the section below, the following terms will be used:
Peer — A WDS unit. An AP, which support the WDS feature.
i.
Root — A peer that is connected to the Ethernet.
j.
Hop1 — A "non-root" peer that is connected to a root.
k.
Hop2/3 ... — A "non-root" peer that is connected to a Hop1/2 ...
l.
Parent-Child — Two peers which are defined by the WDS
m.
connection. The parent is the peer giving Ethernet access to the child
peer.
The WDS topology is based on a tree structure as illustrated in Figure 9,
meaning, in a given time each peer has one Parent. Root has no Parent
since it is the head of the tree. WMG and third party CPEs will normally
connect at the bottom of the tree. Clients may connect to any AP in the
tree.
